The common questions, answered for you. I would be thrilled and delighted to be a small part of your most special life changing day.

Do you have any restrictions on the type of ceremony or requirements to officiate my wedding? I have no restrictions as to the type of ceremony you desire.

What is your fee? Are there any extra fees for mileage, extra ceremonies, attending the rehearsal, etc. My fee starts at 250 and does cost extra for milage. I do attend rehearsal dinners, etc. if you request it.

How long is the ceremony? Your ceremony can last anywhere between thirty minutes and two hours depending upon your desire.

Can we meet with you in person before the ceremony? I do like to meet with the couple once before the ceremony.

Does the officiant offer a virtual rehearsal via Skype as a savings to the couple versus paying the mileage to attend the rehearsal? There is an option in some cases.

Is the officiant supportive of interfaith, secular and same-sex marriages and if so is there ceremony format gender neutral? YES

Are there opportunities for friends or family members to participate in the ceremony to add a personal touch? The brides desires will be included.

Does the officiant offer any guidance on how to apply for marriage license, and walk you through the name change process afterwards, including providing assistance and how to expedite the process of obtaining a certified copy of the marriage certificate? Services are provided if required.

Do you offer counseling? Pemarriage counseling is a wonderful idea and would be available for an additional fee.

Can you handle a complicated family situation? I will work with the family as best as I can to honor the bride and groom. Can we write our own vows? Personal vows are welcome.

Can we be creative and have a theme wedding? Of course!

When I need to reach you, how do I contact you and if I don’t reach you right away then how soon can I expect you to respond? I am a phone call, email or text away.
